Experimenting with TSUtil trimming and merging two USA routes, connected with new tracks where a GOLDEN SPIKE has been hammered into a sleeper to celebrate the joining :

a thought occurred to me.
This being a 360+ miles long route from West to East, extending far to the South and North, how about KRS making it possible to allow EXPLORE ROUTE Mode activities filled with loose consists and other trains, where the Player selects a Consist and then in a zoomable map of the tracks layout clicks on a track where he wants his Player train to start, flipping it into the desired direction of travel if necessary ?
Signaling allowing him to go where he pleases, pick up or drop off wagons, change trains, change the time, season and weather on the fly, etc, etc.
This would eliminate the need to specify countless paths starting points from where he wants to start exploring a huge route like this !
NIRVANA ? I hope not ! ;-)
